Oh yes.

I downloaded one the other day not realising it was proprietary till I
needed to fix it. It only worked with the US site, I just wanted to
change the domain name it used from ".com" to ".co.uk", seems that
wasn't possible, and the vendor hadn't allowed for us UK folks. Grr,
proprietary junk.
